The Golden Kingdom opened in 2005 with Kingda Ka on what was Bugs Bunny Land, the park's old kiddie-section. This section of the park is heavily-themed, with many bamboo plants, stone temples, and more. Many think this is the best-themed area of Six Flags Great Adventure. Modeled after the Tiger Temple in Thailand. PLAZA DEL CARNIVAL
This area was originally part of Frontier Adventures, and was also called "Hernando's Hideaway" for the opening of Rolling Thunder. This section of the park has heavy Spanish influences, including music, lights, and various structures including the station for El Toro. The whole area is very festive and is filled with vibrant colors and stucco buildings and Spanish tile roofs.

The Tiger Temple or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua is a Theravada Buddhist temple in Thailand and has been a sanctuary for many endangered animals including several tigers that walk around freely once a day and can be petted by tourists. The temple received several tiger cubs where the mothers had been killed by poachers. As of 2007, over 21 cubs have been born at the temple and the total number of tigers is about 12 adult tigers and 4 cubs. This site is excellent for the research of Bengal Tigers like the ones showcased at The Golden Kingdom exhibit.
All three of these physics workbook/worksheet sites were created by Tom Paterson a physics instructor from Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School in conjunction with the New jersey Science Teachers Association specifically for use by high school physics students during visits to Six Flags Great Adventure during the amusement park's physics day events. It includes necessary background physics information, formulas, and theories along with ride specific activities for students. There is on location, off location, and pre-visit information and activities so the students can participate even if they can not physically visit the park or ride certain attractions.

This site gives the "unofficial history of Great Adventure: the world's largest seasonal theme park" with not only historical information about the park's creation, rides, but a detailed account of the various sections and attractions of the park.
This site highlights that value of teaching culture in the classroom as well as how to do so. Lesson plan ideas and activities are are included.
